Following the launch of its\u00a0new global sustainability targets, Laing O\u2019Rourke<\/a> has renewed its contract with carbon-neutral stationery supplier, Commercial<\/a><\/h2>\n

The new contract will see Laing O\u2019Rourke using items from the products with purpose range, a dedicated collection of products specifically chosen for their environmentally responsible practices, social impact<\/a>, ethical manufacturing, commitment to workers\u2019 rights and recyclable content.<\/p>\n

It will also benefit from Commercial\u2019s fleet of hydrogen-based delivery vehicles for deliveries in and around London.<\/p>\n

In line with Laing O\u2019Rourke\u2019s sustainability targets<\/a>, Commercial is a carbon-neutral stationery supplier, an accreditation they have held since 2006, which will have a beneficial impact on Scope 3 emissions.<\/p>\n

Ambition to reach operational net zero by 2030<\/h3>\n

Carol Williams, Europe head of procurement at Laing O\u2019Rourke, said: \u201cRecently, we launched our new global sustainability targets setting out our ambition to reach operational net zero by 2030<\/a> and become a net zero company before 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority of our business\u2019 emissions relate to purchased materials. Therefore, to accelerate progress in reducing Scope 3 we want to work with suppliers who share our vision and can contribute to our plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe renewal of our contract with established partner, Commercial, is one step on that journey and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commercial co-founder and managing director Simone Hindmarch, added: \u201cWe are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Laing O\u2019Rourke and helping them on their journey to achieving carbon net zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
